I don't know, but most of these neonaz and fash might just be pretending to be like that to fool others, however, I have absolutely no doubt that there are, or have been, unironic nazis on here.

When I see a nazi nation, I always assume that's probably meant to be an evil nation. Because it personally never happened to me that I come across a nation that I consider evil, and then find out that its based on the user's unironic beliefs.

The ones I've seen have just been hyper-conservatives or nazbols. Likewise, I haven't seen any unironic nazis on here.

Really would be cool to see an actual age breakdown of this site's users (and maybe tie it with a 'how long have you been here' thing to see how many users here are adults because they've been playing for literal years [again, hi, joined in 2008 at the age of 12] or if they're new to this game and adults) tbh.

I know of someone who is 69.

Oh man, it's not a thing that really happens anymore, but it used to be not uncommon for there to be, I don't wanna say raids, but users from Stormfront would come here and join and to try and convert users to their ideology.

Of course this was also back when it was super easy to tell who was just a troll masquerading as a Nazi because it'd so obviously be some punk teenager coming in and spamming shit like 'HEIL HITLER!! GAS THE KIKES 1488!! ARE YOU AUTISTS TRIGGERED? TRIGGERED SOME MORE AUTISTS LMAO LMAO LMAO' over and over.

You know tbh anytime someone makes a joke about eating cake with this nation I wanna drop the cold hard facts about the 'Let them eat cake!' phrase and how it was a mistranslation and also never said by Antoinette on them.

I mean, saying that, even if it's a blatant troll, is still pretty concerning.

I hate dark mode. Mainly because the green links look horrible on it.
Oh, and some of the emojis look absolute dire with it on.

personally i can't stand the shade of creamish yellowy-white the background's colored on rift, and dark's formatting is more versatile tbh.

I'm sort of stuck with dark because of my monitor situation. Light modes, especially on forums, are like putting the sun in my eyes and it's hard to read some of the thread text while browsing. I do think rift is generally sleeker for factbook making though if fancy formatting isn't your thing.

My eyes have specially evolved to be able to almost perfectly read text on a computer.

In exchange I can just barely make out the words on signs that aren't road signs at distances greater than the length of my arm.

I need glasses. Please help.

Don’t you reduce monitor brightness?

that's good. i hate most of the emojis except for

tbh, especially that fucking eyeroll god i hate it so much it makes me angry i hate it why does it exist i hate it why. also we need a pensive emoji but what can you do with decades-old forum code

Dark mode is shit because it also darkens flags and banners lmao.

by **The Gamer Utopia** » Sun Feb 21, 2021 11:23 am

Oh boy, I just turned on dark mode, and I feel like I turned of my room-light. I think I'll stick to rift, dark is too dark for me.

by **Posadist-Communalists** » Sun Feb 21, 2021 11:31 am

One thing I like about dark mode is that it makes things more round, like a late '90s sportscar or coupé.

Darkens factbook images too but by a set amount. I checked a few days ago and I think it shifts things down 10 in brightness and desaturates by 1 if you're going by HSV.

Players mysteriously not being able to write an opinion piece on the assigned character despite them not being the leader of the nation. The Leaders’ opinion thread since it’s beginning was never strictly related to the leader of the nation. It included all characters, no matter, their position.

tbh bro i saw the instance in question and i didn't actually realize that a different character was speaking until i got to the bottom of your little excerpt; presumably sang made the same mistake. their voices aren't all that different and while that's not a bad thing it does mean you need to differ them in some other way.

this is why we use visual cues in our ic posts when necessary, people.

You don’t need a visual cue when as stated in your post here. You can scroll down and realize who’s speaking, and therefore avoid silliness of doing the wrong character. It’s avoidable as not tripping upstairs or walking into a wall.

I’m not angry just disappointed that people still make the same mistake since being here for four years now.

Literally everyone on this site has the attention span of a gnat, expecting them to read more than one sentence is expecting too much of them.

tbf, when it's a nice amount of text, putting the name directly below it, the eyes can gloss over that. The same can be said for when people attach /skip to the end of their posts without spacing it out.

That's why I prefer to space out my /skipmes and stuff now.

^this.

i have no faith in a poster's ability to look at who to them is probably a random joe and read said random joe's work without making it look a little fancier to tell them "HEY CLICK HERE THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR RESPONDING TO THIS POST" in massive red letters.
